Re: [U2] Variable Interpolation
So what exactly do you mean by interpolation?
If you google "variable interpolation" you can find a bunch of examples from
other languages, such as:
for($i=1;$i<=15;$i++)
{
${'test_'.$i} = $i;
}
There's nothing like this in any mv implementation that I know of. In mv you
would probably use a dynamic or dimensioned array from this particular example:
test=''
for i=1 to 15
test=i
next i
Another example:
$string="perl";
$num1=20;
$num2=10.75;
print "The string is $string, number 1 is $num1 and number 2 is $num2\n";
which on mv would be trivially:
crt "The string is ":$string:", number 1 is ":$num1 etc
An example like this would be more useful if the string to display was being
read from a file and used as a template. In mv, if you wanted to do something
like that, you would store your string in the ERRMSG file, and then use the
ERRMSG statement in basic to format output.
This second example could also be implemented on universe or unidata running on
unix by using PCPERFORM or the DOS/SH command to call out to a shell or perl,
which have scripting to support this sort of thing.
If you were using mv on Intersystems Cache, you could use the $xecute statement
to do these sorts of things. Cache Object script supports this sort of
"variable interpolation", but calls it "indirection".
You can use a limited form of indirection on any mv platform, with the EXECUTE
statement:
CMD="LIST VOC"
EXECUTE CMD
I say this is "limited" because the command executes in a separate environment
with different variables and scope.
On Cache in mvbasic, this is slightly more powerful:
CMD="CRT @USERNO"
EXECUTE "; ":CMD
The semicolon command runs any arbitrary line of mvbasic code. You can use this
from the mv shell as well. But it's not exceptionally more powerful because
it's reasonably easy on any mv platform to write a program that will do what
the semicolon command does.
You can also use the EVAL modifier on a query command to run arbitrary mv code,
though this code is limited by what is allowed in an type expression

If the goal is to generate several variables by building variable names in a loop from text, like you can do in UNIX script, PERL, PHP, etc. I don't think you can do that in UniBasic.

Re: [U2] Variable Interpolation
The impression I get from this thread is something like Oh I've just read on the HELP pages that System(2) tells me the width of my CRT screen. Let me ask my process what it has as the value for System(2). Oops I have to write a program just to tell me that that's too much trouble. Why can't it just have a way to *tell* me ?

Re: [U2] Variable Interpolation
Sorry but I always thought iterpolation means describing a mathematical function like Y=2X for instance by producing a graph from it or describing key parameters in a system of coordinates (x,y) like where it crosses the y- or x-axis, if it rises or falls and in which degree etc. .

I don't believe any of the MV platforms do that because I've been looking for it for 15 years. It can be simulated in various ways, but you did limit the scope of the challenge. I think you're trying to avoid this?: CODE = \ CRT DATE()+20\ EXECUTE "PGEN ":CODE CAPTURING OUT * OUT is 16327 In this case the PGEN program reads from TCL, writes, compiles, runs, and that output gets captured. But at least the mechanism for performing that task is abstracted from this client/application code. Cache' allows you to enter code at TCL and then execute it without saving/compiling. That can also be simulated in U2. I don't think I've ever seen anyone else ask for it here - certainly no one willing to pay for it. ;) Out of curiosity, what's your application for this? And please correct the above if I've misunderstood the question.

Re: [U2] CPU Charge Units
I may be sending you down the wrong road, but, these thoughts came to mind. I've never done it in Windows, but, I've had a little experience doing it in Linux. In Linux, and I may be wrong... but, I think the way it works is that the telnet or ssh process is the parent process. So the uvsh process would be the child process. If the child process dies, which is uv, then the parent telnet process may stay open. If the parent telnet or ssh process dies, then the uv process will certainly die eventually (unless there is some kind of record lock set or something like that). However, the linux kernel or the linux telnet mechanism will usually do keep alive checks (which is configurable), to see if these parent telnet or ssh processes have any activity. After a certain amount of "in-activity" it will kill them off. Preliminary Linux info: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO/usingkeepalive.html http://klaver.it/linux/sysctl.conf There must be a utility to show this process relationship in windows. I think the previous poster said something about pslist. That might do it. On windows I would think there has to be a way to set options for tcp keep alive, etc. I.E. Set how often a connection is checked, set how long it should be idle for before killing it, etc. I know you can do it in most every unix OS out there. Maybe this will help.

Re: [U2] CPU Charge Units
For some reason either Universe on Windows does this, or are particular users are doing something where a large number of processes are left "running dead" on the Windows server. That is, the process *claims* to be a telnet process, but it's not actually attached to any live Universe process any longer. I suppose it's possible that if a user in Universe is idle for a long period of time, that they get killed in Universe, but are still living in Windows. I'm not sure that's what's happening. Anyone else ever try to match up the Windows processes to the Universe processes like this? ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
